Version 10 of SSL

Updated 2006-12-15 08:53:32 by dkf

The Secure Socket Layer ia a way of doing secure communications without application programmers having to actually understand a lot about how cryptosystems work, which is good because implementing a truly secure crypto-engine is (by all reports) really hard indeed.

See http://www.ssh.com/ and http://www.openssh.com/ as two sites at least associated with source code base for SSH implementations.

        random and sequential files, HTML page inclusion, logging,
        procedure libraries, random numbers, date and time functions,
        calculations of server hits per hour, counter systems for
        statistics, improved debugging, file cataloging and a new
        forms library.
        The mini release is designed for a site which already has Tcl,
        tclX, db.1.85 and Apache already installed.
        Note that updates have been appearing quite regularly, so keep an
        eye on news:comp.lang.tcl for information on the
        latest version.  This module is freely distributable except
        for commercial resale.
